When I am looking for recipes, I get really annoyed about having to open so many links to review the ingredients and/or instructions, only to find that most of the recipes do not meet the criteria of what I’m looking for. This is why I like to create recipe indexes. I pick a recipe topic area, do the research, and summarize the ingredients and any special considerations for preparation. Then I insert the link, so that if the summary appeals to you, you can follow the link to the recipe.

In the next few weeks, I hope to start posting some recipe
indexes.I’m especially interested in
researching vegetable dishes.I enjoy
most vegetables, but like most people, I don’t eat enough of them.So I’d like to build a library of vegetable
recipes.Also, at our house we
participate in a local organic vegetable program, so I am always researching
recipes for the most productive vegetables.

In the mean time, I’m sharing with you some of my recipe
indexes, published elsewhere.Each
recipe index features many recipes in each category, with ingredients
summarized, and links to each recipe.

Ingredient summaries to 57 VitaMix Soup Recipes.Recipe ingredient summaries for 17 vegetable
soups, 20 cream soups, 10 cold soups and 10 soups with meat.Summaries grouped by category, and grouped to
reflect which of these VitaMix soup recipes require cooked ingredients versus
those that can be made entirely in the blender.

Vegetarian burger recipe summaries.Links to 32 recipes with ingredient summaries
and comments.All different.None with texturized vegetable protein.Burgers made from beans like lentils,
chickpeas, black beans, and kidney beans; grains like rice, quinoa, bulgur, and
